I saw Arizona rigs in Pacific Palisades, Montana said they sent a strike team to LA, the Superscooper CL-415 air tankers are Canadian, Mexico sent a wildfire team. The support has been amazing. Thank everyone for your help.

This is how Canada’s #CL-415 #SuperScooper battle wildfires from the skies, the airplanes from #Quebec, #Canada are picking up seawater from the #SantaMonicaBay to drop on
the #PalisadesFire. Jic you hear ANYONE diminish the danger those pilots are putting themselves in for YOUR state and country.

As a non US citizen, we are flabbergasted that you'd have to explain what are SuperScooper.
All over the world, especially in Europe, for the past 30 years they have been known and heralded as saviours of the sky, and simply called "Canadair".
